Draw/Man City in the Half Time/Full Time Market

Rationale:

Manchester City have consistently faced compact defensive setups in the early stages of FA Cup games, with lower-league teams prioritising discipline and shape. Plymouth are expected to replicate this approach, much like they did against Liverpool, where they frustrated Jurgen Klopp’s side for long periods before eventually succumbing.

Pep Guardiola’s squad rotation may also play a role in a slower start. City often dominate possession in these matchups but remain patient rather than rushing to break down deep defences. Against League One side Leyton Orient in the last round, they even fell behind before finally asserting control in the latter stages.

Despite their overwhelming quality, City have shown a tendency to shift gears in the second half. With Plymouth struggling to score on the road, managing just seven away goals all season, their primary focus will be damage limitation. City should eventually find the breakthrough, but expect a tight first half before their class tells in the latter stages.

Under 2.5 Goals

Rationale:

While Manchester City are clear favourites, this match might not be the goal-fest some expect. City have often been patient against well-organised defences in cup matches, and with likely rotation, they may take time to build rhythm.

Plymouth’s away scoring record is a concern, having netted just seven times in 19 away matches. Their approach will likely be conservative, prioritising defensive structure over attacking ambition. Even if they fall behind, they are unlikely to throw caution to the wind, instead focusing on keeping the scoreline respectable.

City, despite their dominance, have frequently left it late to put games beyond reach against lower-league opposition. Their 2-0 win over Leyton Orient in the last round followed a similar pattern, and a repeat seems likely here. Expect a controlled, professional performance rather than a high-scoring affair.

Jack Grealish to Register 1+ Assist

Rationale:

Jack Grealish’s season has been frustrating in the Premier League and Champions League, with limited game time and a lack of consistent impact. However, his performances in domestic cup competitions have been a different story.

The England international has produced five assists in all competitions this season—four of them coming in the FA Cup and Carabao Cup against lower-league opposition. His creativity shone in City’s previous rounds against Salford, Watford, and Leyton Orient, where he thrived against lesser opposition.

With Guardiola likely to rotate his squad, Grealish could be given a more influential role in attack. Given his recent record against EFL clubs, he is a strong candidate to provide at least one assist, particularly with City expected to dominate possession and create multiple chances.

Omar Marmoush to Score Anytime

Rationale:

City’s forward options may be rotated, but Omar Marmoush could still play a crucial role in breaking Plymouth’s resistance. The Egyptian striker has been clinical this season, scoring 15 goals in 17 Bundesliga starts for Eintracht Frankfurt.

His movement and finishing ability make him a constant threat, and he has already shown his goal-scoring prowess against English opposition, netting a first-half hat-trick against Newcastle in a previous fixture. Against a Plymouth side that will be defending deep, City will need intelligent movement in the box to capitalise on their chances—something Marmoush excels at.

Given City’s likely dominance in possession, the opportunities will come. If selected, Marmoush could be the player to convert one of them, adding another goal to his impressive tally.
